Protest at Columbia over Iranian President

[Kevin]

Well, you don't really know what firm it is and what cases we've tried. You're right in the sense that where I work doesn't really mean anything. It's that I'll have a better than average opportunity to help form the case law in this state. We do a fair amount of appellate work and if past cases are any indication of the future, I'll have plenty of opportunity to do that sort of thing.

But really.. what in the hell does this have to do with anything in this thread? All I know is that I said some stuff about protesters, then people start bringing up my job? Jesus.. if all I do is make a paycheck to take home at the end of the day, I'm doing more than 99% of the folks at the peace rallies -- 1908, you're a one-percenter

Did anyone see Ahmadinejad address the U.N. last night? It was on CSpan. He talked a lot, mostly about the U.S., without naming us. A lot of nebulous stuff about world powers who are overstepping their bounds.

Afterward, I was watching AC 360, and there was an analyst on who said that the man basically is a figurehead -- he doesn't control the military and he doesn't make policy decisions. I'm not sure how accurate that is, but I thought it was an interesting point, if it's true.

It's true. All the power technically belongs to the Ayatollah. Ahmenijad is sorta the Al Sharpton of Iran.
